Comment (by humdinger):
Yes, there will be a slight delay until the direction of the mouse is
recognized. But that will immediatly result in a moving of the particular
border/corner. I don't see the usability mess: click, move toward the
destination-border/corner and the destination will move. Sure, it'll first
enlarge the window and you have to track back if you really want to
shrink, but I can imagine one's muscle memory will adapt to that quickly.
I could be totally wrong though... :)

is a little graphic to see if this choosing the direction by tracking of
initial mouse movement would work for you when using a touchpad, tablet,
mouse. If you feel it's difficult to stay in one "octant" it's a bad
solution. It also gives some indication how long a way the mouse would
have to be tracked until the direction is clear, and therefore the
resulting delay.
